FIRST SWINE FLU DEATH IN GIBRALTAR
A local man has died from swine flu, it emerged today. This is the first such death in Gibraltar. The man, in his early 50s was one of two cases of otherwise healthy people which led to a public health alert in which the authorities urged vulnerable persons in particular to have a swine flu jab.
A fortnight ago the GHA said that tests results on two patients who were being treated by the Hospital over a few weeks for severe lung inflammation had proved positive as Swine Flu with lung complications.
The GHA stated that these two patients were not in the identified risk group published by the GHA in October 2010 and January 2011. One patient made a full recovery.
